sort of stuck

[mikeottinger]

Hi Guys,

First off, great game and great fan site. I'm coming close to the end of my first game and to be honest its been sort of an uneventful one. I'm attaching it here and was wondering if I might get tips from the pros. My recent interest has been to take over Saudi Arabia, but I'm reluctant to do it militarrily because many of its cities share my religion. And I can't seem to gain any leverage from surrounding civs due to poor diplomacy on my part (I'm still learning! ) I had an unsuccesful war with the Malinese, I couldn't even take over a city. Anyways, can anyone point out what I'm doing right, what I'm doing wrong, and any advice on what I should do next. Thanks guys!

Ideally you should have 1.5 workers per city. But you're so far behind that you need a lot more to catch up.

Build workers in ALL cities (yes, even the statue of liberty city!) until you reach 20 workers. Add 2 more workers for every city you capture.

This is settler difficulty, so foreign relations don't matter. I suggest attacking with a combined stack of cannons/cavalry/riflemen, 10 units total.

DaveMcW, it sounds like a medical prescription
